This project aims to develop cooperation and exchange of information on accidents in the fisheries sector between the Baltic Sea states in order to improve the health and safety in the fisheries. This will be done through consultations with various stakeholders with the purpose of exchanging information on current practices and to discuss the development of best-practices, so as to prepare the groundwork for formulating a plan to reduce the number of accidents in fisheries. Achievements: A kick-off meeting was held on 25th February 2013 in order to compile initial information and data from the representatives from the fisheries organisations and maritime authorities. This information covered requirements to become a fisherman, education and training, and the formal accident reporting requirements in the Baltic Sea States. After that, a series of visits has been carried out to all the Baltic Sea States in order to discuss health and safety issues, to learn about best practices in education and training establishments as well as on board fishing vessels, and to collect suggestions and recommendations for improvements to or continued work with health and safety. Separate reports were written after each meeting in collaboration with those visited. A final meeting was held in Copenhagen on 25th March 2014 and the invitation was extended to all those involved and informed hitherto.
